Im not exactly sure on a website, but im sure this one has it if you just search. I would recommend you take it to a shop or someone that knows what they are doing in order to complete this swap. If you dont know what all you need this task might be a little more difficult that you are expecting. Basically, you will need a new pedal set-up that includes the clutch pedal, and all necessary parts that go along with the clutch. There are holes already for the necessary parts to fit in. You will also want the lower shift boot from a manual car to be welded into your car, to help keep road debris and such from getting inside your ride.

There are also wiring issues you will have to deal with. For example an automatic ECU will not allow the car to start unless it is in park or neutral. I'm not positive on the EK chasis but I know to do an auto/manual conversion on an EG you need to cut off the side transmission mount and get one to match the manual tranny. Also all of the hydrolic plumbing for the clutch will be fun. Most of it is hard line so it may be rough to get in to place. Also the clutch master cylinder is a must. Get the interior panel from a manual EK. Umm.. since your doing a swap do all the hydraulic work when the motors out. But my point is, if there isn't beer, money, or women involved for these car club guys, I wouldn't embark on this with them because if they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts they are either ****** mother Therresa or they haven't done an auto to manual conversion. You WILL AND I INSIST, WILL run in to plenty of hang ups. Personally I would charge someone about $900-$1100 just in labor alone for a job like this. But if your adventerous, and have another car to drive in the meantime, or a bus pass. I say go for it. Sometimes it is better to learn to drive a motorcycle before you can crawl...

hondafanatic708 is correct on what he's telling you. it won't be a one day project. and if you do get a engine I would find a wrecked si for cheap (99-00). I am doing the same thing auto to manual with ls vtec on my 98 hatch. I have already switched out the pedals and cluth resevoir out of a 99 ls. I have also ran the hydraulic lines. I am doing it in steps so it's not so over whelming. but me and my 2 friends have performed this in the past and know many other people if we have a hang up on something.
but as far as what you need
engine trans.
wiring harness for si
shift linkages for b-series motor
axles for b series motor
pedal assembly
clutch resevoir and hydraulic lines, lines have to be from 96-00 the integra ones are to long. ecu (si) some kind of a jigsaw to cut a hole for your shifter, new center counsel and thats the basics
hope it helps.

There's hangups in any car project. Do your research, get the parts together, and do it. It's not that hard.

i got my del sol cahned to a standard at groun level imports in pearland TX for 450$$ labor. I gathered all the parts before hand for around 400$ with brand new clutch, flywheel, Si tranny. It isn't that hard except you gotta cut the passenger side mount off and weld on a manual mount. Take it somewhere

96-00 civic auto to manual swaps does not require any welding of mounts.....just need some manual mounts....bolts right up, i am sure about that!

i feel sorry for this kid if he trusts a car club to do this, i have been around cars practically my wholel ife but just now got into hondas a couple of years ago.....this is not a job for a beginner. 450 bucks for labor is damn good considering the time that will be spent on this project. I hope u are ready to spend some major $$$$ but hey if u feel inclined to do this, then go for it!

here is the best 6 gen civic auto to manual swap (just tranny swap on a d16y8) write up's i have ever seen....its by Booksto....

http://sohchonda.com/ipw-web/b...28242

u need the pedals off of a civic, not sure if others will fit....(clutch pedals w/ brackets, and just the brake padal....no need for the brackets just swap out the auto brake pedals to the manual ones)

clutch hydro system....clutch m/c, clutch s/c, hardlines and soft lines

IMO its easier to do a whole motor swap then just a auto to maual swap...i am in the process of doing an auto to manual swap also...BTW what motor did u have in the civic? y8 or the y7?
